January 2: Photography challenge {shallow depth of field}

Jan. 2 I used Salt Air by Rachel Jeffries

 

The focus is on the red mug in the center. No people around today and it's once again overcast and gray. Rain, I'm sure. Sigh..

 

Thanks for the Challenge! My Puggle Vegas was happy to oblige!

Uses NBKs October 2015 collection

 

Max really worked with me to take his picture!
Great challenge!

 

I used the "close-up" feature on my camera for this shallow depth of field photo.

 

photo taken at dinner last night. Hope that is new enough!

 

I used 'selective' focus, an option in my smartphone, my sister told me about this Christmas...
I had never used it before.. I have been playing with it al lot! So much fun!
Effect is used on the framed photo.

 

picture is was taken half hour ago of some wind up toys we got from xmas crackers, I stood the elves behind santa
and hung a napkin to my chair cover for the background.

 

Lots of activity at the birdfeeder today

 

HERE IS MINE. This is one of the last photographs my mom and dad took before she got sick....I took this today...

Thank you for the great challenge!

 

Thanks for the challenge!

 

Photos of the Roses taken today in my garden - Focus on the roses, the background is blurred

 

Window shot? One of my favorite hurricane photos is a leaf that blew against the window. I captured it with a shallow dof, so the rain and outside behind it is blurry.

My understanding is it needs to be new, going forward, not a previously taken photo.
I think that's why @FarrahJobling said "Today's challenge is to scrap a NEW photo with shallow depth of field."
But she will correct if I'm mistaken!

 

Also from the Speed Scrap!

 

I played around a bit with the Photoshop app for the effect:

 

Just by luck all three have DOF

 

Layout created for the speed scrap (photo is recent and never used but not new of today, as per speed scrap instructions):
